2021 TALK STORY GRANT AVAILABLE

Applications being accepted for American Indian or Asian American & Pacific Islander programs
Talk Story: Sharing Stories, Sharing Culture is a literacy program that reaches out to Asian
American, Pacific Islander and American Indian families. Talk Story celebrates and explores
Asian American, Pacific Islander, and American Indian stories through books, oral traditions,
and cultural arts to provide an interactive and enriching experience.

This grant provides financial support to libraries and community organizations who want to introduce a Talk Story program.
2021 Talk Story programs may be conducted in person or virtually.

Talk Story is a partnership between the Asian Pacific American Library Association (APALA)
and the American Indian Library Association (AILA) and 2021 grant funding is available through
the generous support of Toyota California Community Foundation.

Eligibility
Libraries and community organizations that serve Asian American, Pacific Islander, and/or
American Indian children and their families are eligible to apply. We encourage libraries and
community organizations to work together on a Talk Story program. With the exception of
cross-border tribal organizations, all organizations must be based in the United States or U.S.
territories.
Organizations who have previously been awarded two Talk Story grants are ineligible for
additional awards.
Two grant winners for each organization (APALA and AILA) will receive $750 to fund a program
that meets the criteria of the grant.

Application
Please submit a complete and detailed application including a Statement of Need, Narrative,
and Proposed Budget. Please describe the program your library or community organization
would do with the award and what types of programs highlighting Asian American, Pacific
Islander, or American Indian cultures you are interested in planning for your community.

You may apply for either an APALA grant OR an AILA grant. You may not apply to both
organizations.

Deadline and Application
Applications must be received by Thursday, April 1, 2021.
Awards will be announced by Saturday, May 1, 2021.

“Cultural sharing is a valued custom in Asian American, Pacific Islander, and American Indian
cultures,” said Amy Breslin, Co-Chair of the Talk Story grant. “This grant allows the opportunity
for celebrating our history and traditions and building partnerships in our communities.”
Past grant winners have included language programs, early childhood literacy, youth identity
development, and a variety of arts programming including dance, music, and writing. “There is a
lot of room for creativity in this grant,” said Angela Thornton, Co-Chair of the Talk Story
program. “We want people to explore partnerships in their communities and see what they can
create.”

Applications are due by April 1, 2021. Eligibility details and past winners can be found at
